Description:

The Master's Programme in Eco­logy and Evol­u­tion­ary Bio­logy (EEB) offers a perspective on biology from the level of genes to communities of species. You can become familiar with a wide variety of topics in three areas:

  • ecology,
  • evolutionary biology and
  • conservation biology. 

Our wide expertise extends from molecular ecology to population and community biology.

Why Ecology and Evolutionary Biology?

Ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation biology are not only fascinating topics for basic research, but they also play a key role in addressing global environmental challenges.

Upon graduating from the Master's Programme in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, you can:

  • master the main theories and methods in ecology and evolutionary biology
  • plan and successfully carry out scientific research projects
  • write good scientific English
  • work in research projects and groups
  • apply your skills to solving practical problems
  • learn transferable skills
  • be employed as an expert in the public or private sector, or work in research and teaching in higher education institutions 
  • continue in research training towards PhD with your skills and solid theoretical background

Content and themes

You can affect the content of the studies by planning your personal curriculum. The programme includes studies of ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation biology. You can choose studies from any of these areas, as well as from other master's degree programmes.

The expertise in the EEB programme extends from molecular ecology to population and community biology, and a wide range of options is offered for students: evolutionary biology or genetics for those interested in ecological genetics and genomics, as well as the ability to take advantage of the high-quality molecular ecology and systematics laboratory, conservation biology for those interested in regional or global environmental problems; and ecological modelling skills for those interested in computational biology. Our training also offers behavioural ecology.

In the Studies service, you can explore the degree structure, content and learning outcomes from the level of the degree programme to individual courses.
